At 154 feet in height and almost 50 feet in circumference, Rockaway Beach’s magnificent old cedar resides amid a tiny remnant of old-growth coastal bog among other large Sitka spruce and western red-cedar trees. Along this developed stretch of coastline, it’s a surprise to explore the dark interior of such a primeval swamp, the 45 boggy acres of the Old Growth Cedar Preserve. The tree and the bog are now accessed by a universal access raised boardwalk, opened in June 2019, that is half a mile long.
